BROCK VS. CENA, WHAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN AT WRESTLEMANIA, HOW TO USE KURT ANGLE IF HE RETURNS TO WWE AND MORE

I am hoping Brock vs Cena is going to be a better match, with hopefully Brock coming out ahead. If this scenario does play out, who do you see as the next in line to go up against Brock? Also, what do you see in the future for Rusev? Assuming he gets past Mark Henry, can you see Brock taking the face role as the true American who will put down the Russian?

I hope like hell Cena does not win the Title back tonight. I honestly think that if they do that, WWE will tick off a lot of people that just auto-renewed their Network subscription. Personally, I would book a close match and have Brock retain. I like Rusev a lot and wouldn’t mind seeing him and Cena having a program where Rusev comes out on top at the end, around the end of the year. If Rusev holds up, him winning The Royal Rumble and facing Brock Lesnar could be a money match if everything breaks right.

So tell me what you think of this idea... Whether at Night of Champions or later, John Cena regains the WWE World Heavyweight championship to become a 16 time world champion.  He holds the title until Wrestlemania to defend it against none other than... The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, coming out of retirement!  16 Time Champ vs 16 Time Champ!  And then Flair wins to become an unprecedented 17 World Champion!  Plus he'd then be the oldest champion in history... It's money, right?

I hope you were attempting to be funny. If not, put down the pipe. The damage is getting scary bad at this point.

Long time fan, I have a scenario/question for you.  With Kurt Angle's contract with TNA up in the next few weeks, and if he does sign with WWE.  Do you think they could be building to a Rusev vs Angle feud to reintroduce Kurt Angle to the WWE Universe?  I'd picture it similar to when Taz (I hate the double zz) debuted at the Royal Rumble 2000, just without the vignettes foreshadowing Angle's return, make it a surprise.

It would depend on how it was done. Kurt will be 46 years old in December so if you are talking about him coming back and beating a young talent on the rise, I hate it. If you are talking about coming back as an “American hero” to stand up to, but also lose to, Rusev to help elevate him, I like that.

I was actually thinking about the NXT presentation as it relates to the formatting used on Monday night.  Do you think if the NXT "show within a show" concept would be best placed right after the "halftime" segment as a way to keep people into the freshness of the show?  At first I thought this might be a good idea, but thinking that there will be a target group that will go back to football, no matter what, and ratings may decrease and be blamed on the NXT talent.  I don't know if they intend to maintain the halftime element but if so, what are your thoughts?

I think what you think, that they would get blamed for losing audience. I have always maintained that people only turn back to football because what they are seeing on Raw doesn’t interest them. To me it’s simple, make Raw more interesting. Make it more “anything can happen” and “must see”. WWE has had the show format in place for a while and it needs freshening up. With that said, there is also a problem that they can’t cure, and that is the fact that three hours plus is a long, LONG time for a wrestling TV show. There’s not much that they can do about that however as NBC Universal wants that third hour.

Hey guys, just a quick line to thank you for all  that you do. My question is about Raw on 9/15, which was held in Lafayette, LA. Throughout the whole broadcast, no one ever actually said "Lafayette." They said Cajun country, they said the Cajundome, and they said Louisiana. But until Mark Henry said it in the last segment, none of the announcers or anyone else actually said the name of the city they were in. I was just curious if that was a conscious/WWE dictated thing, and if so, what was the reason?

WWE doesn’t like to mention smaller cities because they feel it makes the product look less big time, so they use nicknames like they did on Monday to cover for it.
